MetroWest, Milford weather: Elevated fire danger today

Warm, dry and breezy weather today will give us another day of elevated fire risk. Temperatures will rise to around 70 under sunny skies today.

In addition to the risk of rapidly spreading brush fires, pollen counts are also high today.

As for the Marathon, the weather is perfect for spectators but pretty warm for runners. It was already 60 degrees this morning in Hopkinton and it will quickly get warmer. Most runners, especially those in a Marathon, prefer temperatures in the mid-40s to mid-50s with cloudy skies.

One plus for runners in today's weather: A strong tailwind. Winds will blow mostly from the west today at 10-20 mph - at least that will push runners most of the way to Boston.
